The NBA announced on Friday that Los Angeles Clippers forward Reggie Evans was fined $25,000 for flipping the bird during a Monday night game against the New Orleans Hornets. The league officially termed Evans' infraction an "obscene gesture."

During a second quarter stoppage in play, Evans pretended to rub his face and scratch his nose with his middle finger, clearly flipping the bird in the process. The act can be seen on MockSession.com.
